If you are still looking for some last minute holiday decorations, look no further. Kelly had a chance to do some holiday crafting and we wanted to share the super cute decorations she made. All of these items were super easy to make and will brighten up any home!

The first project that spells out "JOY" is wall art that Kelly made. The wreath was styrofoam that she wrapped with yarn. She created the balls on the wreath with styrofoam balls also wrapped with yarn. Then she added accent pieces that she found at Michaels for the sparkly greenery. The J and Y letters were wood letters she found at Joann’s Fabrics and spray painted red. Very simple, and fun project to make!

The second project is a Christmas card display frame. She wanted to display her cards in a different way than she normally does this year, so she found this frame at Hobby Lobby. It’s super easy to make, as she used twine and criss-crossed it around the frame (used a staple gun to hold the twine down). Then, she bought mini clothes pins to hang the cards from. Underneath the frame she just used vases and bought cinnamon scented pine cones from Michael’s and mixed them with a package of those silver branch balls (also from Michael’s). Another super easy project!
